Is ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Real?

Original Article

Posted By: halfnorsk, 11/15/2025 9:58:35 AM

Is “Trump derangement syndrome” real? No serious mental-health professional would render such a partisan and derogatory diagnosis. Yet I’ve seen it in my own psychotherapy practice. Patients across the political spectrum have brought Donald Trump into therapy not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread. Their distress is symptomatic, not ideological.

Comments:

As you suspected, your angry neighbor actually is mentally ill. Maybe giving her a hug would help.

Flame-throwing political media are TOXIC to people, like pesticides and mercury to exterminators, hatters, and everyone having continual contact with those chemicals -- with similar cumulative effects. Opponents of the sitting President's party have wound up with full-blown cases of derangement every administration for the last 50 to 150 years. The lingering aroma of derangement against Clinton, Obama, and Biden still stinks up our hallowed halls...

These mentally ill people focus on Trump and blame him for all that their deranged minds find wrong with the world. Dem pols feed this psychosis with their TV statements.....Hitler, fascist, authoritarians....blah, blah, blah. It seems that at least half of the Dem voting block are the mentally unstable.

Yes. TDS is most certainly a real and serious disease. But what or who will become the left's new trigger of rage and hate after President Trump's term is over in January 2029?

YES, TDS is real. It is a learned by a constant indoctrination of false accusations made by Trump’s political enemies designed to promote loathing and fear in the minds of those who hear them. Since the MSM repeats these accusations over and over and over again, many people accept the accusations are true. As any propagandist will tell you, tell a lie often enough and people will believe it must be true. Once hooked, the people will believe the most outrageous of lies. They have been brainwashed.

Its kind of funny. Political hacks invent a term out of thin air as something to mock and troll their enemies, and get it into common language. Then it turns out to be real.

Employers may have added just 73,000 jobs in the month of July, according to the latest Labor Department jobs report published Friday.

All this while real wages and household income are rising too. The Trump economy is delivering for American workers.

Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed that she had to conform to white beauty standards during an interview for her new fashion book, “The Look.” Former President Barack Obama’s wife said she felt obligated to keep her hair straight during her tenure in the White House in a conversation with actress Tracee Ellis Ross. She blamed white people for the “exhausting” beauty standards she felt she had to upkeep while she was in the spotlight. Reflecting on her childhood, she told Ellis black people need to know how to present themselves because “how you present can sometimes save your life.”

One of the huge bonuses to having racked up a significant number of years in life is that one gets an amazing perspective on things. For example, I've been through a number of dire apocalyptic warnings. When I was a kid, global cooling and a new ice age were going to bring down the curtain on Mother Earth within 40 years. Before the ice had a chance to show up, fears of overpopulation were being spread. Widespread famine was going to do us in. We're all aware of what happened next. When creeping glaciers and hunger hadn't brought about the end of humanity, apocalypse fetishists shifted their focus to

Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal. The routine has become predictable, and her latest appearances only reinforce the sense that

Is Texas About to Fall to Islam? Lessons

The creeping transformation of Western cities under demographic and cultural pressures has long been a cautionary tale in Europe, particularly in the UK, where London—once a beacon of Enlightenment values (and more importantly biblical truths) — has earned the moniker “Londonistan” for its visible embrace of parallel Islamic societies. With 15% of its population now Muslim, the city features halal-dominated high streets and Friday prayer congregations that overwhelm urban traffic. Across the Atlantic, Texas stands at a similar crossroads, its Muslim population surging amid rapid urbanization in hubs like Dallas and Houston. While Europe’s trajectory offers stark parallels—accelerated by lax policies and demographic shifts—Texas still holds unique tools,

After removing the statue of a famed Revolutionary War hero in 2021, the University of Virginia (UVA) plans to replace it with a park that will serve as a de facto land acknowledgement to an Indian tribe, The Federalist has learned. The Federalist obtained the school’s plans for the site that once held the statue of Brigadier General George Rogers Clark, which indicate that the new park will celebrate “the Virginia landscape and Indigenous stewardship practices.” “The politicization of the university has reached a level of absurdity as it has gleefully destroyed statues of Virginians,” Ann H.

President Donald Trump announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "ranting lunatic" and accusing the Georgia Republican of "complaining" instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s "record achievements." The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections. Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."

The news is not unexpected in the least, given the maniacal hatred that leftists have directed at Donald Trump ever since he first announced that he was running for president in 2015, and even before then, when he dared not to strike the appropriate posture of awe and reverence before the august personage of Barack Hussein Obama. Now, however, a psychotherapist has confirmed it: hatred of the president is driving leftists stark, raving mad. Collin Rugg of Trending Politics noted Friday that “psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert says that 75% of the patients he sees have a deep hatred for Trump and are ‘hyper fixated’ on him.” They hate him, but he is,
